Susan (Maginn) Dubord

August 14, 2013

Born Nov. 7, 1946, in Goodman, Wis., she graduated from Niagara High School and later received her R.N. degree from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. A talented and hardworking nurse, she worked at Community Memorial Hospital in Menomonee Falls, Wis.

She was the daughter of the late Dr. Richard and Vivianne Maginn of Niagara. She was also preceded in death by her brothers, Richard Michael ("Mike") Maginn, and Richard D. ("Dick") Maginn.

Susan was a consummate caregiver who was passionately devoted to her family. She elevated the usual joys of Motherhood - keeping the home, cooking, and nurturing children - to a truly exceptional level.

She turned ordinary houses into uniquely artistic settings with her skills in design and her eye for color.

She dedicated her seemingly boundless energy to providing and engaging in challenging and imaginative activities with her children and grandchildren, and enjoyed nothing more than seeing them learn and grow.

She was thrilled to watch her family develop and interact, knowing that she had achieved every Mother's dream legacy - that of a cohesive family unit filled with loving, kind, productive individuals.

We will grieve and miss her terribly, but also embrace our responsibility to sustain her legacy, which was her greatest gift to us.
